STATE-OF-THE-ART PLENARY

SUNDAY, MAY 2, 2:30 PM - 4:00 PM

♦ Childhood Obesity¹

Chair: Patricia Donohoue, University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, Iowa City

The session will consist of three presentations from leaders in the field. 1) Evidence supporting a major genetic influence on obesity, as well as recent advances that suggest a major genetic influence on obesity, as well as recent advances in our understanding of genetic defects causing obesity in rodents and humans will be presented. 2) The major determinants of energy expenditure and physical activity in children from different at risk populations, including body size and body composition as well as factors such as parental obesity and gestational diabetics will be reviewed. 3) Recent epidemiologic data on childhood risk factors will be reviewed, and implications of these data for formulating obesity prevention strategies will be discussed.

♦ State Child Health Insurance Programs (SCHIP) and Medicaid: Implications for Research²

Chair: James M. Perrin, Massachusetts General Hospital

The new State Child Health Insurance Programs (SCHIP) represent a major new investment in child health insurance across the country. States have the choice of expanding their current Medicaid programs by increasing age and income eligibility or of developing new insurance programs for uninsured children not eligible for Medicaid. The next few years will see the largest expansion in children's access to health care. What are the research agendas (access, health services, quality, outcomes) that arise from this program; what should the pediatric research community do to increase quality and quantity of research; how can pediatric researchers interact effectively with policymakers at state and Federal levels to help shape these new programs?

♦ Report of the Task Force on the Future of Pediatric Education II*

Chairs: Jimmy Simon, Wake Forest University School of Medicine, Winston-Salem

Russell W. Chesney, University of Tennessee, Memphis College of Medicine, Memphis

Sweeping societal changes (e.g. racial and ethnic diversity, single parent families, working parents, tobacco usage, firearms, violence) and changes in child health care (new vaccines, antibiotic resistance, the human genome project, psychopharmacology, diagnosis and therapy of serious conditions -acute and chronic- in an ambulatory setting) will have a vast impact on pediatric education. These changes will alter how the medical student, the pediatric resident, the subspecialty fellow, the practicing general and subspecialty pediatrician (both early and later in their careers) and other members of the child health team will be educated. This session will discuss the background of this Task Force, those recommendations that have arisen from the ongoing deliberations of the Task Force, the data gathered, the impact of the various working groups, as well as communications from public presentations and web site responses. We will specifically focus on those recommendations which are controversial or for which there is not a consensus of opinion. We will also discuss a process of implementation, evaluation and follow-up of the Task Force final recommendations. Further information is available at www.aap.org/profed/fopel.htm

HOT TOPICS

TUESDAY, MAY 4, 4:45 PM - 6:45 PM

♦ Controversies in Prehospital EMS for Children*

Chair: Gary R. Fleisher, Children's Hospital, Boston

Each year in the United States, in the prehospital arena, hundreds of thousands of healthcare workers provide services to millions of children at a cost of billions of dollars. Most members of the medical community, as well as the lay public, assume that these dramatic interventions, accompanied by the wail of sirens and the whirl of helicopter rotors, represent part of an established continuum of medical care for the benefit of children. On closer examination, however, this particular intervention has generally not been delivered under pediatric supervision, has seldom been rigorously studied, and has often been demonstrated to have no beneficial, or even a detrimental, effect. In this session, the speakers will provide an overview of the data behind the mayhem, with specific emphasis on basic therapies: airway management, intravenous access, and cervical spine immobilization. Formal presentations will be followed by an interactive discussion. The goals of the discussion will be to: (a) establish, when sufficient information exists, which approaches are helpful and which are harmful; (b) increase the awareness among physicians of the limitations of prehospital care for children; (c) encourage involvement of pediatricians in setting policies for the treatment of children; and (d) identify areas for further investigation.

MINI COURSES

The Mini Course is an exciting initiative for the Pediatric Academic Societies' Annual Meeting that is jointly sponsored with the American Academy of Pediatrics. Each Mini Course is a mixture of presentations by experts, combined with individual case analyses and audience participation that is directed by a moderator. Each Mini Course will explore specific topics that are timely and controversial and weave them within a common theme. This interactive format is designed to provide a meaningful, in-depth learning experience on current issues important to both the practicing and academic pediatrician. This format also is flexible, since attendees may attend all components of an entire Mini Course, or they may choose to attend any combination of the seminars within the entire Mini Course series. Attendance is open to all PAS Registrants. The Joint PAS-AAP Mini Courses offered this year are within the broad topics of Adolescent Medicine, Immune Response to Vaccines and Infection, and Feeding and Nutritional Support of the Preterm Infant.
